Let's face it...ISDN is dead as it is.  With a max 128kbps throughput it's 
just a bandaid until we get to the cable modem (600kbps, 4mps, 10mps).

Let-em have it.  They don't even have a clue what it is to begin with.  Even 
if ISDN was affordable if you talk to any US West insider they'll tell you 
that over half of the CO's are not capable of supporting it.  By the time all 
the CO's are upgraded the cable modem will be the new thing and will totaly 
bypass ISDN.

I don't know of very many providers that are willing to put up the cost to 
even support it to begin with.  The equipment is still unreasonably expensive 
where a 10mps cable modem will come out on the market for about $200 even and 
it will do your voice, data, vidtel, cable, etc.

just 2 cents worth.
